Assignment in the Islands

It was an assignment Nora Kane couldn't resist. "Consuela Rafael rumored to be in the Virgin Islands -- interview her if you can," the cable said.

As a reporter for a weekly news magazine, Nora had covered everything from the diplomatic corps to the Hollywood scene. But the mystery behind the famous violinist's sudden retirement into complete seclusion intrigued Nora beyond mere professional curiosity. Was it the native legend of a curse on Consuela's hideaway, Casa Rafael? Was it Nora's discovery of Consuela's secret marriage to a mysterious stranger? Or was it the presence of Len Rafael, Consuela's darkly charming brother, that fascinated Nora? Certainly his persistent attentions had stirred both her heart and her suspicion.

Whatever the truth, Nora found herself hopelessly entangled in a story that threatened not only her future happiness but her very life.

Hero: Len Rafael
Heroine: Nora Kane
